sherman the Choice for rPrcSidcnt--SIgnif-
cancc of Ills southern Trip.
WASHINGTON, March S.-Scnator Sher-
man proposes starting on his Southern
tflp THIS afternoon. 1t is under
stood among his close friends that Mr..
sherman contemplates combining busi-
ness with pleasure on this trip. The
initial conference held here during this
winter by prominent Republicans of the
stalwart faith, with reference to Repub-
Iican prospects in the next Presidential
election have resulted in a substantial
concurrence in the opinion that Mr..
Sherman is by far the best available
Presidential timber for the Republican
party. Pennsylvania has always been
looked upon us Il Blaine stronghold, but
1t is said that the Cameron influence will
from now be eXcrted to secure Sher-
man delegation to the next Republican
National Convention. New York is also
counted upon for Sherman, and in the
Northwest exp Postmaster Gene cal Hatton
and the clique with which he trains are
to look out for Sherman delegates. Of
course hr. Sherman can havcno difficult
~ IN securing the Ohio delegation.
When Mr.. sherman was candidate for
the PRESIDENTIAL nomination of 1880, he
used his power as Secretary of the
Treasury to "work" the South, and. as
will be remembered he obtained quite
respectable following in that section. He
had no scruples i'll appealing to Southern
collectors of customs and Of internal
revenue to help him out 1t is among
tue traditions of the Treasury Depart
mcnt that upon one occasion he limited
TO Mr.. JoAn J.. Thomas, the collector of
customs aJ Baltimore, that Sherman
delegation from Mary yiund to the Ropub-
mean convention would be very accepta-
PIE, but that Mr. Thomas was too much
tlncturcd with Buincism to take kindly
to the suggestion. Now it is said that
Mr.. Sherman and his friends are of the
belief that the seed sown for him i'll the
South in 1850 fell upon good ground,
and that this is the time to follow up the
good work. 1t is reported, therefore,
that on his Southern trip Mr.. Sherman
VIII take the occasion to lay his wires
for Southern delegates to the conven-
tlon OF next year. SO far rs Virginia is
concerned, it is said that Gen. Malone
is thoroughly III sympathy with the
Sherman movement, and will use his in
lluencc for Sherman delegation. Col.
Casaday, the scrgcant-at-arms of the
Senate, and who has long been one of
the most prominent managers and work
erS in the Republican party Of North
Carolina, has long been devoted to the
political fortunes of Mr.. Sherman, and
he is relied upon to secure the North
Carolina delegation. These all think
that Mr.. sherman will strengthen his
chances by going South and mixing in
with the people, so that other Republi-
can aspirants for the nomination will
watch Mr.. Sherman's Southern tour
with considerable interest if not anxiety.

LOWEST AVERAGE TEMPERATURE or GERMI-
NATION.

From the above we may draw the fol-
lowing conclusions: That in any given
locality the average temperature for the
month OF March is 80 degrees or above,
corn may be safely planted during that
month; If 1t is lower than 10 degrees it
would be unwlsc to put the seed in the
ground. Now, if Il farmer has n ther-
momctcr lus every one ShouldD and
records the highest and lowest tcmpcra-
lures OF the mir each day (saY 1t two
. clock and at aUnnscJ, and s.Ikcs an
average oi all, hc can approximate quito
closely the average temperature OF the
upper layer Of the surface soil. I'm many
Localities the average temperatures of
the different months can be learned from
observations already made by signal
officers and other observers. True, expo
ricncc has pretty well settled about the
right time III each locality when a par
tlcular crop should be planted, but sea-
sons vary ~ good deal, and the average
temperature OF the first or second half
OF March may vary three O. four de-
8rCcs. An iINuuGblc date for planting
cannot DU liked, uud 10 c,t,l of the hap
hazard way Oi guessing that cit will do
TO plant corn" it would be better to
learn definitely aud accurately that the
soil was warm enough TO bring it up
promptly. Farmers use trees as ther-
mometors-plan corn, they say, when
the "dogwood blossoms" or when the
poplar leaf Is as large as Il squirrels
ear. These are useful signs, but why
not use the Thermometer itself and de
termino the matter still moro definitely.
Gardeners and florists regulate the tenn.
oerattS their greenhouses by ther.
momotS why should not farmer use
the same instrument, iii his calling,
whenever It is practicable? He may not
be able to heat the soil, except to very
limited extent, 10y ferme2ting manures,
but he can find out when the sun has
heated it sn 'ciently. A good stand of
corn is n matter of the first Importance;
roplanting is very Objectionable. Every
precNution, therefore, Cncluding alton
ton TO temperatme) should be taken to
have the crop come up promptly and
uniformly.
1t was said above farmer could not
warm up his land, but he can do some
thing in the same direction by planting
early corn on southern slopes. These
warm up sooner than northern slopes,
because the SUMS heat falls more per
pendicularly upon their surfaces. III a
farmer wants part of his corn crop to
mature very carly, he can select for it a
southern slope, with rather light-textured
but dark-colored soil. A loose soii is
called for that water may sink in it
freely close, wet soil is always cold in

The Free Dellvery Anected.

The failure of the Deficiency Appro-
priation bill affects the postal service to
this extent. There are l79 places at
which the free delivery service was to
have been established immediately, but
now nothing in this directicn can be
done until the beginning of the next
fiscal year, when the regular appropria-
ton will be available In another item
1t was proposed to appropriate 100000
to enable the Postmaster General to In
stitute thorough examination of the
accounts of all fourth class postmasters,
which would have nccessitated the ap-
pointment of several additional postoffice
inspectors. This investigation was rem
dered necessary because numerous frauds
have been discovered in the accounts OF
postmasters whose compensation is de-
termined by the number of stamps they
cancel.
